The
dynamic response of a mechanical structure while either
in a development phase or an actual use environment can
readily be determined by impulse force testing. Using
an FFT analyzer, the transfer function of the structure
can be determined from a force pulse generated by the
impact of a hammer and the response signal measured with
an accelerometer. The impulse force test method, yields
extensive information about the frequency and attenuation
behavior of the system under test.
The stainless steel head of an impulse force
hammer, is equipped with a quartz, low impedance force sensor which accepts impact tips varying in hardness. A selection of
rubber tips along with an extender mass allows the hammer to be tailored to impart to the test structure, a desired spectrum
of frequencies.
• Low impedance voltage mode
• Quartz force sensing element guarantees long-term stability
• Accessories for various applications
• Sensor cable integrated to hammer handle
• Conforming to CE
